I can't seem to get the latest Gparted to boot on my UEFI laptops. I've tried creating the usb disk via Unetbootin, Lili, Rufus and while it will boot on non-secure laptops, it won't on my URFI enabled ones.
I've been able to successfully boot a UEFI Clonezilla usb disk to my UEFI laptops with the same flash drive and followed the same exact steps with the Gparted iso to no avail. I also made sure to format the usb disk before putting the Gparted image on it.
From what I can tell, the Gparted iso doesn't actually support UEFI booting yet. Can anyone confirm that they've booted Gparted on a secure boot UEFI computer?
Thanks!

Tuxboot uses the syslinux in the ISO/zip file to make your USB drive bootable, so it is compatible with the same version of syslinux boot menu in the ISO/zip file. Auto find the latest version. Download an ISO file and build bootable USB flash drive on the fly. Requirements: Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7, or GNU/Linux. Just burn GParted to a CD or USB and use it like a boot disk and you'll be able to add new partitions and change the size of existing partitions. Still, we recommend that you have backups of your file and other information, just in case something bad happens.

So, it turns out I was right. The ISO image on the latest GParted doesn't work properly for UEFI boot by default. I've outlined how to fix it, but it requires a UEFI Clonezilla image.
- Run Unetbootin.exe as an admin and create the latest version of GParted image on a flash drive per the norm
- Copy the boot directory from a clonezilla ISO/configured flash drive to the root of the newly created GParted flash drive
- Copy the following files found in EFIboot (ignore the x86_64-efi folder) to the same directory on the newly created GParted flsh drive:bootia32.efibootx64.efigrubx64.efiunicode.pf2
If you get a prompt from UNbootin asking to overwrite the syslinuxmenu.c32 file, click No. Or if you get an error when booting from the flash drive regarding the syslinuxmenu.c32 file, overwrite that from a clonezilla ISO too.
Your welcome.
